Caregiver Planegg

Care for a 79-year-old senior living alone, 152 cm, 69 kg. The senior has high blood pressure, urinary incontinence, and takes blood-thinning medication. Medications are prepared by an external care service. Mobility is significantly limited. The senior is not bedridden, but walking and standing are almost impossible. She requires caregiver assistance for transfers and cooperates minimally on her own. She uses a walker and a swivel bath seat as aids. Time and place orientation are partially limited. She needs help with complete personal hygiene – washing, showering/bathing, intimate hygiene, hair care, oral hygiene, nail/foot care, and skin care. She requires full assistance with dressing and undressing. She has urinary incontinence, uses diapers, and needs help with toileting. She requires reminders and guidance with meals. Her fluid intake is reduced, so she needs regular motivation and reminders to drink sufficiently. She requires regular assistance during the night, potentially multiple times, primarily for toileting. The presence of a caregiver during the night is necessary. She enjoys television, radio/music, company, conversations, and spending time together. Her family lives nearby and visits her regularly. For three days a week, a family member is present for at least one hour. The caregiver's tasks include cooking, cleaning, laundry, household management, assistance with personal hygiene, dressing, toileting, and incontinence care, as well as providing companionship and conversation. The family handles shopping. The lady lives alone in an apartment on the 2nd floor.
